The Rooms Have a Hint of Asbestos and Maybe Just a Dash of Formaldehyde

Geez, my posts are long. 

So I don't remember at all what I did this morning, but later in the day, it got busy.

We needed to go to Walmart for groceries, and Smells needed dropped off at the mall 'cuz she was going to hang with her friends, so we dropped her off, and Mum did a couple of errands at the mall. Then we went to Walmart, home of the poor (which must be nearly everyone these days), and grocery-shopped. Side note: I love grocery shopping. I could spend hours (and I have) looking at all the food, comparing prices, imagining all the things I could cook and bake if we could afford it. Many a time it has been that I have wandered up and down the baking aisle, wishing I could explore with all the fancy spices and flours and extracts. But alas, my dreams do not match up with Da's pay. Raspberry. Why is that extra "p" in there, anyways? What good does it do? Oh!! And while we were at the grocery store, I went over on an impulse to check out the cameras, and there was a dude from Kodak there, and from him I learned that adjusting the aperture gives you depth of field. And there was this awesome camera there for $129, which is an AWESOME price for how cool the camera is, and it has adjustable aperture and a really nice zoom, and I'm really considering buying it. BUT after we were done grocery shopping, Aurora needed a ride to some place for basketball because she missed the bus, but Mum had been driving people around all day and wanted to spend time with Da (you know what? I don't like "da". I'm going to call him "Dad" again. It sounds cool in an irish-accent book, but not here) and she wanted to be in the car with dad for the 30 min drive to drop off Aurora, but there was Thaden. So I said I'd watch Thaden, and she could go with dad (but see, "dad" just sounds too...teen-ish to me. But "father" is too formal, and "pop", "pops", "papa" just don't work for me. "Daddy" sounds like a spoiled rich blonde girl. Raspberry again). She said that Thaden needed changed and fed, and she had to pick up her prescription from the doc's office before they closed in 30 mins, and the car needed gas, and the groceries needed unloaded and put away. I told her I'd do all that; it was no big deal. So we met with dad at the gas station after mum picked up Aurora, 'cause his car needed gas also, and there was a rushed transfer as Mum and Aurora went to dad's car, and Dad gave me his phone, 'cause Smells had mine, and mum gave me her debit card, and then I hurriedly pumped some gas into the car while entertaining a crying Thaden from outside by kissing and licking the window (I had sparkly orange lipstick on, and there's still marks....I'll have to wash it off today), trying to be done before 5pm so I could go pick up mum's prescription. But then there was some confusion, and I had to take Thaden out and go pay inside, and the lady in front of me was being slow, but I finally paid (and later we found out that I dropped the debit card in the parking lot-stupid stupid me-but thank goodness whoever found it turned it in, and the gas station called us, and mum picked it up later last night), and then rushed and put Thaden back in his car seat and got in, and at the stop sign, before I went on the road, there was a clearing, so I was able to go right away, and then I got to the doc's office and took Thaden out and picked up the prescription, then dropped it off at Walgreen's, then went home and took in the groceries with Schink's and his friend's help (his friend is staying the night). I changed Thaden's diaper, then put him in his high chair, gave him some orange, but he just spit it out, so I gave him other stuff, while I put away the groceries, which consisted of frozen stuff, refrigerated stuff (and in the back of the fridge I found a bloody puddle under a wrapped piece of meat that dad had put into the fridge to defrost and had then forgot about, like he ALWAYS does; but I took it out, hoping that it wasn't rotten, because I didn't know exactly how long it had been in there, and cleaned up the puddle, and took the package to the sink-it so kindly dripped along the way-and cleaned up the drips), and pantry stuff, and I also had to transfer some meat into some bags because we got large packages of stuff, and I froze all that, then I tried to prepare the bloodmeat, but it turned out to be rotten (which is lame, because I have the perfect recipe that was quick that went with it), so I tossed it. Then Thaden pooed and I changed that (DISGUSTING!). Then I got out that turkey-cilantro-tomato sauce mixture that I made yesterday, along with the shells, and grated some cheese into the mixture (we got mozzarella-it worked), then filled the shells, and as I was filling the shells, mum and dad came home. I finished that, covered them with foil, and put them into the oven at 350 for 45 mins. They turned out awesomeness, just in case you wanted to know :P But I already knew that they would. AFTER THAT, I cleaned up stuff, then went down to my room, put "I'm Yours" on repeat on playlist.com (I need to buy that song), then felt creative and typed out some...I don't know....I suppose I'd call it poetry. I really like it, but a lot of it wouldn't make sense unless you were me. Whenever I try to write, though, whether it be for english or for whatever, it's like this wall comes down, and I can't think. Except for blogging, for some reason. I can definitely build off of someone's skeleton of writing, but doing it by myself just doesn't work. And that's a big reason why I hate english. But whatever. After I got done with that, I went upstairs to see what was up. Other stuff happened, but it was nothing important, and after that, Aurora, Mum, and I came home and watched Ever After. Aurora fell asleep in the middle of it, and Mum quoted nearly every line throughout the entire movie (but I think it's funny when she does that) and then at the end of the movie, she and I were reading all the names in the credits as fast as we could, trying to one-up each other. I totally pwn at speed reading. I used to be the best in the class in elementary. So we did that, then went upstairs and goofed off with Ninny (he was in the bathroom, we were peeking over the top step, and he was frazzled, and we teased him) then mum and I goofed off a bit more, then I got stuff from my room 'cause I decided to sleep in Smell's room, 'cause she's spending the night at a friend's house, and now I'm on here at 2 am, blogging so I don't forget the day. And I'm getting up at 6:45 so that mum doesn't have to. Aurora needs a ride to b-ball practise. Raspberry.

I can't wait 'til April 15th. I want to go back and see my friends and have a fun time!! I got poo roommates last time, really boring ones who did nothing. I was gypped. But this time it'll be awesome, and I'll actually do stuff with my roomies, and we'll have funtimes instead of them just sitting on Facebook and Youtube all night, and reading lamesauce japanese comics and laughing and talking at their computers. Raspberry at them. Oh, and I totally dis-added Cali-girl as my friend on Facebook. Up hers. Ha ha. She never liked me anyways. She only did things if they benefited her, or if there were guys involved.

The end.
